Everybody is attracted to beautiful things. It is really a clever way to make people notice about your intelligence and intellect, without directly interrupting anything that person could be doing.
Of course, it doesn't give us assurance about people noticing or being interested in ourselves, but it is the most clever path.
Also, your appearance can change whatever thing people could think about you. People don't like to see ugly or unattractive people. So, you should improve the way you look, little by little, until you feel comfortable, and people around you don't avoid or run away from you. ;-)

The end justifies the means
By Machiavelli. I forgot this phrase was written by Niccolo Machiavelli. This data makes a total twist to the motivation I had to write this entry: If your goal or dream is accomplished, it is Ok, *BUT* just try not to create a bigger problem.
Maybe you are not sure about the path you want to choose to accomplish your goal, but if you know all the pitfalls and still your goal is reachable, take the path you feel more comfortable with.
If your goal is accomplished, it is Ok.

Everything depends
By circumstances is obvious. But they also depends on your objectives, goals, motives and dreams.
For example, you could say "In one week I will complete my work." You might be sure that you will do it, but there are many things that may stop you from doing it, like when you spend all the money needed to work, or doing things that removes your focus from your work.
And that's not all. It is possible that something unexpected occurs. Something really big and important that you must everything. An example is when a woman needs to stop studing because she is pregnant.
About the objectives and goals, if you pretend to be a programmer, why are you designing then? Many people can do both, but there are specialties that are not so common to have. Sometimes one is a hindrance to the other.
Your objectives, goals, motives and dreams can affect things you percieve and choices you make in your life, in such a way that people may call you crazy.

Transferring appeal
Relate something appealing with other thing you want to increase your appealing for it.
Somtimes I have tried this advice. Sometimes it has worked for me, because I tried to find the similarities of some aspects of very different things.
For example, Benjamin Franklin said "Life is a kind of Chess" because he found many aspects in chess that are really alike with life, in an abstract way, of course, but very real and common enough to be compared with life.
That's it. You just need to find points something you want to like have in common with another thing you already like!!

Success = 10% Inspiration + 90% Perspiration
By Thomas Alva Edison. I think it might be even less inspiration and more perspiration.
The greatest things in life have been generated with a quite phenomenal commitment and work, although now, we could feel them as the mos trivial things. Can you think about all the care and effort that Thomas Edison have done, for us to see that tiny thing that lightens our room, called electrical bulb? No.
If you want to do something really great, you should do a really great effort . You may fail many times, though, but Edison has another funny quote: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Isn't this enough? See this YouTube video. I also need more sources to inspire myself to perspirate more. Help me!! :-D

Nothing is Perfect. Everything have a shortcoming.
Phrases like "what you win in one way, you will lose it in another way", or "To adquire something, you should give another thing of equal or greater value than the one you want", or even "The Yin-Yang Law", all of these are telling us that nothing in the world is perfect.
We should learn to live with all those imperfections, because they will be always present, forever. It is difficult, but you should try to find the funny part of the shortcoming, because even that shortcoming could have a benefit!! This also is part of the Yin-Yang law.
There is a phrase that says "If one person is happy, even in the worst situation in life, it is because the person has someone or something to blame about it." :-D

Making more friends of the opposite gender
I feel it is easier to make friends of the same gender, so I want to have more friends the opposite one. I will put here a list of things I think I need to do to have this kind of friends. From time to time, I will elaborate more about them:
Make them feel good
Talk things about the moment
Empathy
Humor, maybe double-meaning
Positive Debate
Their interests and likes
Maybe some writing
Maybe a toast
Money and Time

Oscillations are everywhere
You have to keep oscillations present. You need a moment in the day, or in the week in which is a must to forget about your work.
You can neither work continuously forever, nor rest. Neither be happy forever, nor sad. Just be aware of the oscillations of our life. Think about this like a bow and arrow: you need to pull the bow string as much as you can, in order to push the arrow as far as you wish.
And the bow string keeps oscillating until it stops, so you need to pull it again. ;-)

Taming ourselves. We are wild horses
We think in many things. We want many things. We see many things. We lose focus easily. We need to train ourselves to keep focus. This training is not as easy as it sounds. Many sacrifices we have to make in the path of success.
We need a corral to keep us in the learning place, whip and spurs to push us, and halters to stop us from temptations and running away. Why now is harder for us to tame ourselves? I think because yesterday we had a corral, but today we don't.

The cross exercise
I have an interest about knowing the source from where the author of TFoC got this exercise.
In this exercise only an image and your eyes are needed. It is said it could be helpful to us.
I think crossed sight keeps cerebral hemispheres busy, and inducts us to see and focus what our normal sight can't notice.
Also, It is said that it helps to improve the communication between cerebral hemispheres. If you want to know what I am talking about, you can go here.
